Über Travis Roof

I built my campervan completely by hand and love taking it to the coast to surf with my fiancé. We have traveled all over the western states and Canada and can't wait for more road trips in the future!

Travis was wonderful to work with, was extremely flexible even when I had to return the vehicle late, and we loved the van. had a wonderful time. Would definitely rent again and highly recommend. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the bed is extremely comfortable

Travis was great—very responsive and helpful—and so was Surf Hippo! It’s obvious that Travis has a real eye for detail, especially in the thoughtful way he has kitted out the van. All those small touches really add up and make the experience that much more comfortable.

Super grateful to Travis for providing us with a great way to explore Olympic National Park. The Surf Hippo is a perfect vehicle for 2 nature-loving explorers and Travis was a great host. He was extremely communicative, kind, and willing to provide recs if we needed. Definitely a fun experience.

We had the van for 7 days and it was truly a great way to travel.
The surf hippo is well made, has lots of space and handles well on the road. The turning radius was amazing and the solar panels kept everything fully changed. Travis has thought of everything a camping couple could want. The bed was also very comfortable.
We really enjoyed driving, eating, and sleeping in this camper van!

This van was absolutely perfect for our Olympic Peninsula road trip. It had everything we needed down to the little details and we felt at home immediately. We loved our taste of van life and would rent from Travis again in a heartbeat! It was so easy to stop at viewpoint for lunch or roll into the campsite late without having to worry about unpacking anything. The water was quick to deal with and power was never a concern, even on some cloudy days.

Travis is great. Excellent communication, advice, help, etc. The surf hippo is awesome. My fiancé and I took it out to Olympic National Park and camped at Kalaloch. The bed is comfy and the kitchen was great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested.

We rented The Surf Hippo to explore Olympic National Park, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The campervan was clean, comfortable, easy to operate, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for our trip. There was plenty of storage, numerous electrical outlets, running water, a sink, oven/range, and all the essential cookware, dishes, pots, and pans.

Personably, Travis is kind and communicative. Van is as described and served me well for my trip. Fun to have a taste of van life!

It’s in its mountain hippo era! Living out of the surf hippo for the last 12 days has been an absolute dream. Agreed with the other reviews that Travis has thought of SO many thoughtful details (blackout curtains, a comfy bed, bug net, a super-practical layout, lighting placement/ options, magnets for quick adjustments, tons of storage…), and it was so easy to use as a base with the reliable power and water. I’m typically a tent camper, so this was a fabulous upgrade!
I took the hippo out on a scenic loop to north cascades, over to glacier, back through northern Idaho, and down to Rainier. It handled the mountain and forest roads like a champ, and I even did some of the lower portions of Going to the Sun. Temps ranged from 100 in Spokane (whew) to 38 in Essex, MT. With the fans going or a warm pair of socks, I easily stayed comfy at both ends of the spectrum.
If you came to the reviews for helpful planning tips like I did, the things I brought along that I was glad to have were a small chargeable Bluetooth speaker, a lightweight camp chair, and a travel blanket. Trader Joe’s birthday cake optional, but recommended.

The Surf Hippo is a great vehicle to take on a road trip around Washington! A comfy bed, convenient cooking space, cozy dining area, and many small, clearly well-thought out tweaks and features make driving and living in the Hippo a delight. Travis was attentive if we ran into a question or problem, and even helped with recommendations of activities in the area.

Travis was a great host and the Surf Hippo was everything we could have hoped for. It was easy to drive and I really liked not having to worry about running out of power for the fridge/fans/outlets. Hoping to rent the Hippo again in the future.

Camping in the Surf Hippo was delightful. We got to enjoy nature and get away from it all. The mattress was comfortable. Driving was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with spices and made meals on the go easy. I hope to rent this van again soon!
